Rob Mazurek, "Amorphic Winged"

As the title suggests, the direction of this disc is somewhat vague,yet still an interesting listen. Mr. Mazurek's electronic/laptopelements tend to be more experimental then that which we've come toknow from the Chicago Underground Duo.

"Anthology 2"

Come Organization's second anthology collection may not be as lengthyas the double CD first volume, but it is of equal importance. Thematerial picks up where the last one left off, pulling music from 1981and 1982 including Come's entire album 'I'm Jack,' most of thecompilation, 'Für Ilse Koch,' as well as two pieces from MaurizioBianchi's 'Weltanschauung' LP.

Christian Kleine, "Valis"

The multi-talented German instrumentalist has followed-up last year's'Beyond Repair' LP with this somewhat dull EP on Morr. Once again,organic bass guitar and guitar riffs are looped alongside somewhatslow-driving 4/4 instrumental electronics.

"Vertical Forms"

UK-based label Vertical Form have failed on a number of planes withthis compilation. First off, I don't ever want to see another promo CDshow up in my mailbox without a cover, artwork, a tracklisting, ornotes to go along with it. This compilation has received a ton of spinson my players at home, work and inbetween, but up until now I haven'thad a goddamned clue as to who's on it.

RANDY GREIF, "WAR OF THE WORLD"

Having recently taken in the delightful "Alice in Wonderland" box setre-issue, my first (massive) taste of Greif's quarter century plus backcatalog, I became eager for more. And just in time comes a new projectusing another classic as inspiration.

Mirza, "Last Clouds"

It seems that anger and post-rock go hand-in-hand with a lot of bands.The power of Mogwai, menace of godspeed you black emperor! and rawdestructive force of Explosions In The Sky all suggest some kind offrustration and anger with the systems and forces in place. And theyshould be angry about that. But San Francisco's Mirza took it to awhole new level.

Pierre Bastien, "Mecanoid"

Along with playing various instruments and contributing organic sounds,Bastien builds Meccano machine robots to "play" instruments to buildhis soundscapes on. He calls it both "acoustica" and "mechanica," andgives each song a palindromic title, as the robots "understand" thismusic the same forwards and backwards. It may seem a bit pretentious,but the music is phenomenal.

Presentperfect, "Dispelling the Analog Myth"

This is the first release from Text Records (not to be confused withFridge's own UK-based label), a sub-label affiliated with TinmanRecords, devoted to electronic experimental and ambient music. Thealbums released on Text heavily depart from the more straightforwardindustrial found on Tinman, such as early Crocodile Shop and I,Parasite.

Maenad, "A Thousand Petals"

Maenad is the second release on Text Records(http://www.tinmanrex.com/text.html), and favors dark drones, ghostlysinging and subtle atmospherics.

Donna Regina, "Northern Classic"

From our friends at Karaoke Kalk (a label that has begun to make a namefor itself in the land of lush electronic music) comes German duo DonnaRegina's equally lovely (if not somewhat stylistically different)follow-up to their 1999 release 'A Quiet Week in the House_. 'NorthernClassic', as its title suggests, gives its listener the sonicequivalent of a wintery landscape view through snow-dusted eyelashes.
